"Named Value" versus "Variable" ∞

The term most commonly used for this sort of thing is "variable". I keep using that by habit, even though it's not correct with Mythryl.

I don't yet understand things well enough to explain it. =)

Numbers ∞

We can assign a decimal like this.

number = 1;
printf "%d\n" number;
# =>
# 1

I like to add space after naming a value. I find it makes the code less cramped.

Strings ∞

Strings work the same way.

string = "Hello, world!\n";
printf "%s" string;
# =>
# Hello, world!

Notice how I put the \n in the 'string' named value. It can go either there or within the printf directly, like this:

string = "Hello, world!";
printf "%s\n" string;
# =>
# Hello, world!

Both ∞

number = 42;
string = "is The Meaning of Life, The Universe and Everything.";

printf "%d %s" number string;
# =>
# 42 is The Meaning of Life, The Universe and Everything.
